What to do with toddlers who are already hugely ready for that new phase? They are not yet 4, so for school they (and you) have to be patient for a while. I would already start with some extra challenge at home. You can do this, for example, with the language app from Jungle the Bungle. - Carolina Bongers
You don't want to miss the language maturity phase
Did you know that children up to the age of 8 are the most language-ready? That means that children learn new languages until that age, without any effort. Do you ever stop to think how special it is that children learn their mother tongue so incredibly easily? With all those conjugations and tricky grammar. Learning a language seems much easier for them than learning to ride a bike, for example.
The secret of language learning
A ?secret? which far too few parents still know is that children learn a second language just as easily. And a third and a fourth and so on.
I would say, seize the opportunity. And don't let this special gift of your child go unused. Some parents think it comes at the expense of the mother tongue, but this is absolutely not the case. It will only make your child smarter.
